The large die off was probably related to the salinity just being too low in general and not the actual change from high to low. I would probably would have raised it from the low point (1.010) to normal within a single day if it was me. I think the sooner you get it back to normal the better, I mean within reason obviously, you don't want to increase it too fast but over a day seems plenty long enough IMO. 3 weeks just seems like crazy overkill.

In my struggles with improperly calibrated refract vs my profilux I raised my salinity from 1.018 to 1.026 within a few days. Likely the wrong way, but I just dumped a few cups of salt into a high flow area of the sump twice a day. Nothing died in the process.

make a small salt sludge.... dump in sump.... WALA!
